On
August 11, 2000 as he was flying to the Democratic Convention in Los
Angeles which nominated Al Gore, Jr., former President Bill Clinton
signed that engraved invitation—Executive Order 13166. According to
the Department of Justice's Office of Civil Rights at the time, EO 13166
requires any recipient of federal funds to take "reasonable steps" to
provide access to services to persons with limited English proficiency
by providing instructions in their native language, and on-staff interpreters
whenever needed. The Executive Order, "Improving Access to Services
For Persons With Limited English Proficiency" required federal agencies
to examine the services they provided, identify needed services not
provided, and implement a plan to provide those services. Among those
"needed services," are bridging the language barrier—a problem magnified
by Bill Clinton's alien amnesty in 1996 when the Clinton Administration
fast-tracked 5 million resident aliens—many of whom were illegals—to
citizenship by waiving a 100-year old federal requirement that mandates
that those applying for citizenship must be reasonably fluent in England
and allowing non-English speaking applicants take their citizenship
exams in their native languages.

The
Clintons decided that Americans must bridge the language barrier not
by forcing those who want to live here to learn how to communicate with
other Americans in English, but by forcing employers to either hire
supervisors who are fluent in the languages that their employees speak
since the bureaucracy decided that it was a form of discrimination not
to hire a person simply because he or she does not speak, or understand,
English. Without an legislative debate by those we elect, and without
a basis in law, the Clintons made the inability to speak fluent English
a protected civil right in the United States. The President of the United
States does not have the constitutional right to "legislate." He cannot
create law. Any president—Democrat or Republican—who attempts to create
social policy by fiat needs to be impeached. And any judge sitting on
any court in the land who fails to abrogate presidential excursions
into legislative or judicial terrain needs to be impeached. And, State
or federal legislators who fail to act in the best interests of the
citizens need to be recalled and removed from office.

When
Clinton signed EO 13166, it didn't matter that the newly-hired non-English
speaking person who may have to interact daily with English-only speaking
consumers—and therefore could not perform even the most basic rudiments
of the job he or she was being hired to perform—the employer was nevertheless
required to hire them since the bureaucracy viewed their language "impairment"
as a covered handicap under the Americans With Disabilities Act of
1990. When Clinton promulgated illegal law with EO 13166—an unofficial
UN policy for a multilingual United States—several Congressmen and Senators
on both sides of the aisle denounced the Executive Order as they had
hundreds of other EOs whenever Clinton ignored the constitutional provisions
of lawmaking and abused the presidency by going over the heads of Congress
to illegally create unpopular laws by fiat that could never have been
successfully legislated by Congress. In a July, 1998 interview with
the Los Angeles Times, former Clinton policy adviser Paul Begala
commented: "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool."
I think that's called dictatorship. And, it isn't cool. It's frightening.

Clinton
Administration recess-appointed Assistant Attorney General and civil
rights czar Bill Lann Lee noted that a lack of translation services
(for any of the 101 languages and dialects spoken in various parts of
the United States by minority-minorities) could be construed as a hate
crime. A statement from Lee's office at the time confirmed that "...the
failure to address language barriers may not be simply an oversight,
but rather may be attributable—at least in part—to invidious discrimination
on the basis of national origin and race...The bottom line here is that
to be unable or unwilling to speak English is no longer a "personal
problem," but an entitlement to service in the language of your choice."

During
the Clinton-Gore years, lawyers lined up to file language barrier discrimination
lawsuits and federal discrimination complaints for non-English speaking
residents and newly-sworn citizens. One such complaint filed against
the Montefiore Family Health Center with DHHS in 1999—a year
before EO 13166—argued that the Bronx quick-care health facility discriminated
against Chay Lay Tiang because they did not have a Khmer translator
on the premise when he unexpectedly showed up for treatment. In 1995
the State of New Mexico stopped giving drivers' license tests in Spanish
because a State court ruled if the license test is provided in any language
other than English, it must be made available in every language spoken
anywhere in the country. The federal government printing office now
prints every government instruction form in 101 languages and dialects.

Today,
when you call any bank or financial institution, public utility, or
government agency, we hear a prompt that says, "...to continue in English,
press one." We are now officially a bilingual nation. But it should
be incumbent upon the new arrivals to the greatest nation Earth to learn
how to communicate with their new neighbors, not the English speaking
citizens to be forced to endure the cost of providing multilingual translators
in every business, healthcare facility and/or public utility or government
office in the country since the cost has been staggering—and it has
been funded 100% by the customers and/or taxpayers who do not require
foreign language services.

I
have no inherent right to expect translators would be available for
my use if I opted to move to a foreign country that speaks a language
in which I am not proficient. That comes under the heading of "my problem."
While it may sound uncaring—even unchristian—and perhaps even callous,
it's a reality in the real world. If you decide to live in another country,
have the courtesy to learn the language before you sneak across the
border or apply for a resident visa.

The
"language barrier" is not a disability. While those who can't communicate
are, of course, handcapped in our society. But the inability to speak
English is not a "handicap" in the physiological sense. It is tragic,
but expected, that people who are not proficient in the English language
are misunderstood when they go to free clinics or hospital emergency
rooms and attempt to explain their symptoms of their illnesses, or can't
understand the doctors and/or medical personnel who are attempting to
help them. But, whether the foreign national is here legally or illegally,
it's their fault. It's not like they were brought to the United States
against their will. And, it's not that resident alien adults were refused
permission to learn English—even though their children, in our public
school system, may have been. Policies established by the Clinton Department
of Education—and not changed by the Bush-43 Department of Education—require
that alien children be taught in their native language in order to "protect"
their cultural diversity. The cultural diversity that ultimately collapsed
the Soviet Union is alive and well in the educational facilities of
the American public school system.

Clearly
monolingual businesses in a multilingual society are at an economic
disadvantage—as is the quality of care in monolingual healthcare facilities
in bilingual or multilingual communities are . Unfortunately the language
barrier can be as impenetrable as a brick wall. Something has to be
done—particularly in hospitals where clear and precise communication
is needed to treat patients and save lives. But declaring the language
barrier to be a legal "handicap" instead of learning laziness is an
example of the stupidity of a government bureaucracy that believes tax
dollars can solve every ill of mankind if enough tax dollars are taken
from the pockets of the American wage-earner. Punishing the American
taxpayer because those who steal into our country in the middle of the
night can't speak our language isn't a solution, it compounds the problem
and assures that the illegal aliens in our midst will never be assimilated
into the fabric of our society since it is like trying to cross weave
burlap and silk. The first American flag was woven from homespun. America
is a homespun country made up of immigrants. However, the immigrants
that were woven into the fabric of a nation in the late 19th and early
20th century wanted to invest their sweat equity in nation-building
because they knew their dream was part of the American dream.

As
American transnationalists export US jobs to Mexico, radical Hispanics—encouraged
by the Mexican government that does not want to deal with them—are exporting
poverty to the American Southwest. The majority of the illegals entering
the country through our porous Southern borders are not nation builders.
They are thieves, murderers, drug runners, and other serious criminal
types—the dregs and cast coffees of the impoverished northern Mexican
border society. In fairness it must be noted that many of those who
enter the nation illegally first tried to gain legal entry into the
United States and failed. They are honest, hardworking men and women
who want nothing more than to capture the gold ring and, with it, a
thin slice of the American dream.

But,
just as many of them are radical zealots who bring a dangerous agenda
with them. The most radical of these is La Raza. La Raza—Spanish
for "the race," is a transnational secessionist group who, according
to the propaganda of the Hispanic magazine, La Voz de Aztlan,
see themselves as "American Palestinians" whose land was stolen and
absorbed into the United States. Their advocacy is to break those States
away from the United States and return them to Mexico. They believe
they can achieve their goal in two or three decades simply by becoming
the majority and voting themselves out of the Union. If they fail in
their legal efforts, they will resort to open warfare—much like the
Palestinians fighting the Jews in Israel to gain a homeland.

The
dream of the multicultural, multilingual socialists within the American
bureaucracy is to see a nation—and a world—without borders. Utopians
like Hillary Rodham Clinton envision a world that is neither black nor
white, or yellow or brown. The globalists have aligned with radical
groups like LaRaza who appear, at least on the surface, to have
an agenda that dovetails with their own. In point of fact, LaRaza
is a separatist organization that does not want Hispanic immigrants—legal
or illegal—assimilated into the American culture because LaRaza
needs them to remain a subculture on the outer fringes of the American
society. Separatist organizations like LaRaza were instrumental
in convincing the bureaucracy that Hispanics should not be taught English
and since it suited the agenda of the globalists to drive a wedge through
the patriotic heart of the Republic by fractionalizing the various peoples
within the nation, the separatists found an ally in the bureaucracy.

The
solution to the language barrier in the minds of the utopians has nothing
to do with requiring non-English speaking aliens to learn our language
as a prerequisite of citizenship. Rather, it deals with throwing billions
of taxpayer dollars into the language cauldron in order to provide thousands
of translators and to print every federal and/or State government instruction
pamphlet or form in upwards of 101 different languages and dialect at
the expense of a two hundred year generational immigrant population
that came from their native lands, learned the language and became part
of the seam of America. Tragically, the radical elitists who control
the majority of the Hispanic population in the United States, and the
globalists within the bureaucracy, are trying hard to unravel that seam
and tear apart the fabric of our society. Sadly, they will succeed.
